How does love arise? When does it appear? Why is the search for it a constant in our lives? Història de l’amor is a performance featuring a solo actress who takes on the impossible task of trying to understand what love is. The piece unfolds through a dual dramaturgy that, on the one hand, explores historical perspectives on love, and on the other, presents contemporary love through the performer’s personal experience.
From which perspective is this supposed history of love presented to us? Are the protagonist’s experiences truly her own – or are they ours?
Agrupación Señor Serrano approaches this inquiry with a sidelong glance at the myth of El Dorado: that promise of a city full of treasures, hidden deep in the jungle, whose pursuit has often brought chaos and destruction. A promise, like that of love, constantly rewritten and reshaped through time, yet still one of the main driving forces of our existence.
Why do we seek love? What do we hope to find? Is it a place, a destination, an expedition?
